Earlier this week, a report in the Houston Business Journal indicated that at some point in the recent past, James Harden had parted ways with Landmark Sports Agency and was now being represented by his mother, Monja Willis. Now, Harden has clarified that, while his mother is very involved in his business dealings, he doesn’t consider her his formal agent, and in fact doesn’t have one at all.

#Rockets star James Harden on the @HOUBizJournal report of his mom becoming his representation: “I wouldn’t really call her my agent. … I don’t have an agent. … It’s work, but I would just call it her being my mom.”
